What is the TSHA PAC?
The cost of maintaining a strong legislative initiative in Austin continues to rise. The Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association Political Action Committee (TSHA PAC) needs your financial support. The purpose of the TSHA PAC is to encourage the support of legislation which meets the widely different needs of the profession. The PAC raises money for contributions to candidates for state office who are supportive of TSHA’s goals. It’s an effective way to make our voices heard in the legislative process
The TSHA PAC is a group that bands together under a unified mission to support candidates for public office. Operating as a non-profit, unincorporated and non-partisan group, the TSHA PAC can receive and distribute contributions to election campaigns. A PAC can only solicit contributions from individuals associated with a specific organization/association and all contributions are strictly voluntary.
What is the TSHA PAC Mission?
Our mission is to support legislative candidates for state office whose records and policy positions demonstrate an understanding of our fields, and those who have endeavored to further the goals of TSHA in the areas of licensure, education and healthcare.
Why is the TSHA PAC Important?
Bi-annually in Texas, legislation is enacted that impacts members of our professions and individuals with speech, language and hearing disorders. Financial support through campaign donations to legislators who are not only in a position to assist our professions but also devote time and effort to support our cause is always important, but with Sunset Review upon us, the efforts of the TSHA PAC are more critical than ever.
How Much Money Can I Give to the TSHA PAC?
The TSHA PAC can accept cash contributions up to $100. There is no limit to a contribution made by check or credit card. All contributions to the TSHA PAC must be given from personal funds. No corporate contributions are accepted.
Why Should You Participate in the TSHA PAC?
By donating money to the PAC each year, you can help us gain access to decision makers during the legislative session so we can inform the legislators of the importance of our professions and the necessity of maintaining the highest professional standards to ensure that our consumers receive quality services.
You can support the TSHA PAC by contributing money, volunteering your time and helping share the mission of TSHA and the TSHA PAC.
